other and treating each other makes them lose respect for one and another. This is seen in celebration that the main characters Eric and Mabel are always in some sort of dispute yet love each other. Their behaviour doesn’t let them make a place in their heart. This is logical when Eric says “lousy bitch” and Mabel says “I don’t have anywhere else to go.” It is seen that Eric feels all alone in the world‚ that’s because of his way of act towards Mabel and her response. In order‚ to make his place and

In 1492 Christopher Columbus set out on a voyage of discovery (Discovery for his civilization group‚ for what he found was already inhabited)‚ a voyage that would inadvertently shape the world. Today‚ over 500 years after his initial voyage‚ we still discuss the consequence of this voyage. Columbus Day in the United States is a holiday that was celebrated as early as 1905‚ and became an official federal holiday in 1937. Presently the debate has risen on whether this date should be recognized or

Christopher Columbus has a very diverse legacy. For most people he is known as the man who discovered America‚ but for some he is known for the Columbian Exchange. His remarkable story revolves around four major voyages between 1492 and 1502. He was a navigator and as such he sailed and traveled for many years. He spent most of those years trying to find another route westward that would lead him to Asia. Christopher Columbus was also a religious man and for the most part he often allowed his Bible

Though not the first to reach the Americas from Europe‚ Columbus’ voyages led to general European awareness of the hemisphere and the successful establishment of European cultures in the New World. It is generally believed that he was born in Genoa‚ although other theories exist. The name Christopher Columbus is the Anglicization of the Latin Christophorus

Columbus Day should be abolished because he was not the first explorer to arrive in the Americas. Many explorers before him landed there‚ but he was the first to conquer the native people and either enslave or kill them. In document 2‚ Online Petition‚ it states that the American Indians had already been living there for around 10‚000 years. Even if Columbus was the first to arrive in the Americas‚ he was not the discoverer. To say Columbus is entirely falsely praised would be stubborn and incorrect

have heard of Christopher Columbus‚ and that he has his own day on the calendar. But do you know of all the things he’s done to trample his own reputation? He’s enslaved hundreds of Natives and had them know that there would be consequences for any mistakes made. He was careless and had treated them very poorly‚ some had even died due to them being exposed to foreign diseases! These are just a few things that make me believe that Christopher Columbus was a villain. Columbus did not care in the world

Christopher Columbus was a determined individual who was passionate about finding a western route to Asia. We know that Asia was the pearl of trade and the traditional route posed a threat of piracy and other situations. Columbus had to know finding that route would make him famous and rich beyond his imagination. To make a mistake wasn’t an option and he wasn’t going to prepare for any mistakes. I feel he had a one track mind and wasn’t open to any other options. His Repuation lied in the hands

Christopher Columbus in this film was very inaccurate as far as what he brought to the so-called "New World". The film displayed Columbus as the first person to locate America and to cross the Atlantic Ocean but as history shows others had accomplished this years before he did. In the film he could be looked at as both the villain and as a hero. He was obviously looked at as a hero to some because he is the one who was supposedly responsible of discovering America. Even though Christopher Columbus is thought
